This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing the property and continuing the business of the well known Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, so successfully con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for several years pa- t. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or nn - undertaking, tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative undertaking, and one which, with the additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more s o. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the Whole of Mr. Norton's interest in these properties, together with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for SOme years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel ac commodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. i here is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments which is capable of considerabl e ex t ens i on. It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics, the ret urns which may be expected from the present under taking, but th e certified accounts for the last three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the Whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually to call up, The present average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury Music Halls is about 60,000 a month, and the proposed extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the undertaking still more remunerative than ever. One. half of the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder should be made to the bankers of the Company, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; if no allotment be made the deposit will be returned. Prost ectuses and forms of applicattin for shares may be obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers, and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.

From this mineral oil are produced spirits of turpentine substitute, burning oil, lubricating oil of three varieties, solid paraffin, and grease of several ldnds. All these articles, When of good quality, find a ready market. The thre.=!, processes, namely, raising the cannel, distilling the oil, and refining it, have hitherto been made three dis tinct and separate businesses, involving three different ma nagements, with their attendant expenses. This Company is formed to distil and refine oil from can nel procured from its own mine ; it will thus unite three businesses, from each of which large profits are now made. l'iy this combination, and by having the command of ample capital and perfect processes, the Company will be enabled to i , 'onduct a large trad e to th e greates t a d vantage, and thus nsure profits consid era bly in excess even of those now being alised, either from the manufacture or refining of oil in t his country, or from its importation from any known source. cluldn furtherance of these object s th e purohase has been con ed of the well-known works of the Mineral'( - )ii Corn- Piny at Saltney (near Chester), and Leeswood, in Flintshire, and also of the Freehold Cannel and Coal Mines, Works, and other property of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company, contiguous to the Leeswood Works of the Mineral 011 Com- Pally . 1 4 The Company will thus at once enter into a well-estab- Ailed, lucrative end rapidly increasing business, with com plete works in full operation and with organised agencies and W l ll at the same time acquire a freehold mine of well known i l ae, on te rms w hi c h w il l ena bl e th e C ompany to suly. / . l hern pp s elves with cannel of superior quality, at about one (uirth of the present price.

TEMPORARY OFFICES. 29, Threadneedle-street, E.C. PROSPECTUS. This Bank is founded on the basis of the well-known and old established Firms of Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and Co., of Alexandria, under the following circumstances : The trade and commerce of Egypt, which have been for a series of years steadily increasing, are now raised by the change in the cotton trade, caused by the American war, into first rate importance, and corresponding banking and finan cial facilities are required. The export value of the cotton crop of Egypt for the pre sent yearis estimated at £17,000,000 ; the population is now from 5,0(0,000 to 6,000,000. The financial potption of the country is most flourishing, all the elements of wealth and I rosperity are rapidly expanding, and an extensive field is opened for public works and industrial under akings of all kinds. The situation of Egypt, half way between England and India, makes it also an important station for a large portion of the exchange and other financial operations connected with the immense trade between Europe and the East, The Agra and Masterman's Bank, having a leading posi tion both in Eng and and India, has felt the advantage wh;ch would result from havin g an i de;,' &int Agency in Egypt, while a great amoun t of finsell and industrial busi ness, not falling within the so, tions, will afford large ary banking cpera commands such a hip ,pe of ordin ~ protits in a country where capital ing in connexion I :4te of interest, to an Institut on act pany of Load, ..Ln the General Credit and Finance Com- Under +' and its influential Continental allies. prep- ..tese favourable circumstances an opportunity has _.-nted itself of founding a powerful Banking and Finan oial Corporation, with a ready-made business and first-rate local influence and connections, by a transfer of the two establishments of Messrs. Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and Co., who have for many years had the honour of trans acting banking and mercantile business on account of the Government of Egypt and of his Highness the Viceroy. A satis , actory agreement has been made with Messrs Pastre and S nadino for merging . the whole of the business of these two establishments in this Bank, a ith the premises occupied by them, and the entire staff of their intelligent and expe r eneed employes. Messrs. Jules Pastre and G. Sinadino, who are now at tint head of the establishments in Egypt, and under whose ma nagement they have attained their present great prosperity, will continue to superintend the operations of the new bank in that country, in concert with English gentlemen of first rate banking experience, while the Financial Agency of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, and of the General Credit and Finance Company of London, will ensure to this Bank the full advantages of banking in London, India, and through out the Continent of Europe. The Anglo-Egyptian Hank will thus possess the immense advantage of entering at once upon a business in full acti vity, yieidi g large profits, with the co-operation of gentle men who are intimately acquainted with the usages of the country, and who have for a long series of years retained the confidence of the Government and of the mercantile commu nity in Europe and the East. The Memorandum and Articles of Association and Copy of the Agreement with Messrs. Pastre and Sinadino, will lie for inspection at the Offices of the Solicitors, 20, Austin friars. A large proportion of the Capital is already subscribed. Subscrip ions for the remaining Shares will be received by the Agra and Masterman's Bank, 35, Nicholas-lane ; by the General Credit and Finance Company of London. 7, Loth bury ; and by Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the Brokers of the Company, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be obtained. The amount of £2 upon each share applied for must be paid to the Company's Bankers previously to the application being sent in ; this sum will be returned if no allotment is m a d e t o the applicant.

The match was appointed to take place at three o'clock, but long before that time arrived hundreds of carriages, filled with fashionable company, came on the ground, and made their way towards the firing point at the 200 yards range, where the pro ceedings were to take place, in expectation of the Royal visitors. At twenty-five minutes to four o'clock a shout in the disrance proclaimed the ap proach of the Royal party, and in a few minutes afterwards the carriages containing the Princess of Wales and the Hon. Mrs. Stonor, preceded by Lord Elcho and other members of the council, came upon the ground. The Prince of Wales, who was at• tended by Colonel Grey, immediately followed on horseback, and was received with loud cheers by the assembled crowd. The flag of the National Rifle Association was hauled down, and the Royal Standard hoisted in its place. They drove directly to the firing range, and the whole party took their seats in the tent, and the band of the Victories playing the National Anthem. The Princess of Wales was attended by the Hon. Mrs. Stonor in waiting, and accompanied by the Duchess of Man. cheater, Lady Constance Grosvenor, the Countess Spencer, and Lady Elcho. The Prince of Wales was attended by Colonel Grey, and accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Elcho and several other members of the council. For the information of our lady readers we may state that the Princess wore a black satin dress, white lace mantle, white straw hat, with a deep black border and white feathers. The shooting soon afterwards commenced, but it was evident that the Lords were gaining a great advantage over the Commoners, for the shooting of the Earl Ducie was first-rate ; at 200 yards he made 6 bull's eyes and 1 centre in seven shots, counting 27, while at the 500 yards he was almost equally successful, making 5 bull's eyes and 2 centres, count ing 20. The firing at this range having been brought to a close, the Royal party, accompanied by the coun cil, proceeded to the 500 yards, where they again received a very cordial greeting, and the company was here more numerous than at the other stage. As the day appeared to be against members of the Lower House they seemed determined if possible to regain the position they last year occupied, but, as the result turned out, in vain, the Lords winning by a majority of 464 to 424. As soon as this was brought to a close the Prince and Princess of Wales were escorted by Lord Elcho to the Exhibition Tent, where the different articles intended to be given as prizes were displayed, and which they carefully examined. They afterwards inspected the stalls for optical instruments of Messrs Barron, of Malvern ; Mr Steward, of the Strand ; Messrs Elkington, and Messrs Hancock, and re mained for a considerable time examining the dis play of articles exhibited by Messrs Mappin and Webb, of Oxford street, the Princess enpressing her gratification at some articles of a domestic use, but presented in a unique and elegant form. After the Prince and Princess had left the Exhi bition Tent they were conducted by Lord Elcho to the Royal Tent opposite to the Cottage, where they partook of refreshment, and shortly before seven o'clock they quitted the common amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, the band of the London Scottish playing " God bless the Prince of Wales." During the whole time there were several thou sands of persons present, and nothing could be more excellent than the arrangements made by the police on the occasion for securing the comfort of all. They were under the able direction of Superintendent Butt, and Inspectors Bryant, Denning, and Hare, and even the sergeants were animated by the same desire to give every facility in their power for all to be accommodated to the fullest extent. The band of the Victories and London Scottish played throught the afternoon, and the Prince ex pressed the pleasure he had experienced, end invited them to attend that evening at White Lodge, Richmond Park, and play there during dinner. Some extraordinary shooting was made by Capt. Heaton, of the 3d Manchester, one of the com petitors for the Association Cup. He fired ten times, five at 200 yards, and five at 600 yards, the most that could be made, counting 40, but as he was winner of the cup last year he is precluded from taking it again, and he receives but honour for his pains. The following are the Gfficial scores of the events of the day : r , ~ '1 e4./fz: Royal Agricultural Show at Newcastle,::,. „, ll NEWCASTLE -ON- TYNE, iu.Ouar. 7 A splendid day has drawn a large number of visitors, Ecluding many ladies, though the admisa sion fee is half-a-sovereign ; evidently, public judg4 ing of the live stock and free admittance to mem bers is working well for the funds of the Society. To day the implement stands are passed by; the company flocking to the long lines of shedding, where .the prize tickets are being nailed up over stalls and pens, and critics assemble around the winning beasts and sheep. The main points of attraction have been t-e Judges' ring ; and Messrs. Wiley, Parkinson, and Rob:mon received specially marked attention throughout all their arduous ex. amination of the Shorthorns. The show of this breed is extraordinary both for numbers and quality. There are no less than 175 entries, and for general excellence altogether an unparalleled competition. In the aged buil class, Mr. Amos Cruickshank, of Sittytan, Aberdeenshire, wins the first prize with his bllll Forth, which Avila the winner qt the High land Society's meeting at Kelso ; and Viscount Strathailan, of Auchterarder, Perthshire, takes the second placs with his Fesco. Mr. Cruickshank's is a magnificent beast, with a wonderful back and hips, a good head, and a fine coat. The judges were a long time over the 14 2-yr-old bulls, the final competition lying between Mr. Eastwood's The Hero, Mr. Peel's Abbot of Knowlemere, Mr. Gell's Master Goldschmidt and Royal Butterfly 11 of Mr. W. Stirliug, of Dunblane, Perthshire, which car.. tied off the first prize. This bull was the first at Worcester last year. Mr. Peel's second prize bull is straight, and good in the fore quarter, but his colour is not a good roan. Scotland is taking away many of the honours; but in this class the winning bull is of Colonel Towneley's breed. The class of yearling bulls is very well filled, and among the buil calves are several of superb character. We have never before had anything like so large and fine a show of shorthorn cows, heifers, and heifer calves, and the awards must necessarily be made too late in the day for announcement in the present report. Messrs. Franklin, Keary, and Gough had lighter work with the Herefords; but the show is ex tremely good, considering their long distance from home. Mr. Taylor's prize bull was third at Batter. sea meeting, and first at Worcester last year. Mr. Baldwin's prize two-year-old was first at Battersea meeting, and second at Worcester. Mr. Dackham wins in the yearling class, beating Mr. Wright, whose second prizo bull was second as a calf last year. Mr Baldwin's prize heifer was second at Wor cester last year, and the prize yearling heifer of the same breeder was first on the same occasion. This affords an indication of the high character of the present show. Among Devons, Mr. W. Farthing, Major-General Hoste (with a bull and a heifer from the Royal farms), Mr, George Turner, and Mr. A. Smith are the prize-takers. The show is small, but of average excellence, This is the first year of the classes for Scotch cattle, and probably the fact had not been well advertised in North Britain—but still the show is full and creditable, The black gems in this depart ment are the animals of Mr. M'Combie of Tilly four, Aberdeen, one of the polled cows having been the winner at Battersea. The Newcastle local prizes for Galloways have also brought a good competition. The Leicester sheep are in great force. Mr Barton, Mr Pawlet, and Mr Cresswell are the prize -takers. The Cotswolds are not very numerous, but some grand specimens are exhibited, Mr Beale Brown and Mr Lane showing sheep of great merit. The Oxfordshire Downs make a large and fine class ; Mr George Wallis, of Farringdon, clearing off all the prizes ; and yet Mr Druce and Mr Chas. Howard have some good pens in competition. The South Downs are a good show, though not numerous, so far from their native haunts. Lord Walsinghsm has come with no fewer than 12 shears ling rams, taking first and second prizes ; and also prizes for ewes. Mr. Itigien takes third place in the siearling ram class, end the D uke of Richmond and Sir Thomas Leonard arc nowhere. Th© Shropshires also show exceedingly well; and the Cheviots, Blackfaces, and Hordwicks make up a very interesting feature of the meeting. The horse ring, a large oval space roped in and surrounded by horseboxes, has been an el:cal:22; scene from 8 o'clecl: this morning. The show is small, though is point of quality it stands well. Trio thoroughbreds are fairly repre sented. The snii horses number 10—Littlecote, Gamester, who won the St. Leger, Carbineer, Lay. ton, Laughing-stock, with fine action, Buccaneer, Cavendish, the most perfect animal in the yard for power, quality, and style, Lord Chesterfield, Sir W. Scott, and Schuloft. Action settled the day in favour of Messrs. Moffitt's Laughing-stock (who wins the £lOO prize), who may be supposed to be more lively on his legs at 5 years of age than Cavendish (who takes the £25) or Gamester at 8. The hunter class is the speciality of the show. The 6,6, and 4 year old classes of mares or geldings are well sustained, and the adjudications seem to win the appreciation of all save the undistinguished exhibitors. There is clearly a leaning to more bone, and the judges have in view the production of horses up to weight. While the steam-plough trials have been going on (and they are not yet completed) the competition of horse-ploughs has attracted great interest—the picked ploughmen of all England (some of them. with fancy teams well up in premium :ploughing, brought all the way from Suffolk and Bedforda shire) executing their score of furrows, which are to settle the championship among the polished mouldboards and blue beams and handles for three years to come. Out of the large number of exhis bitors in the field, the contest was close between the great firms, Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, and Messrs Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich ; Busby, Hunt and Pickering, and one or two others coming up as good thirds and fourths, In ploughing Sin. to 10in, deep, in light or stiff soil, we do not per ceive any marked progress since the Warwick meet' ing ; and there are few improvements in details of the now perfected plough, by way of simplification or enhanced efficiency. It is very evident that local and smaller makers are unable to produce such ex quisite workmanship in cast and wrought metal as that sent out by the few great makers ; and whether you prefer a solid beam from Bedford, or a trussed beam from Ipswich, whether you choose to cut a fiat and level furrow bottom or a sharp-angled furrow slice for the harrow, whether you seek a shar,, _ et pierce deeply into the subsoil, a ridge•p lou g n came off first judges have turnwrest, and so on, you can be equally well sup. or a second t divided the X t h 3 i o s ri f fi o et r nhn t e h i ael manufactur er class of wheel-ploughs" e he e -plough s , ' as follows :—XIS to Messrs. o uI. a nd F.

As the meeting of the National Rifle Association progresses it is naturally intensified in interest, partly on account of the important events which have been already decided, and partly on account of those yet to come; but the absorbing feature of this day's proceedings was the anticipated visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to witness the contest between 11 picked members of the Rouse of Lords and a similar number from the House of Commons. From the opening of the business for the day every. thing betokened that the royal visit was the first con sideration, and preparations were made accordingly. As the competition between these branches of the Legislature was to take place at the respective stages of 200 and 500 yards, workmen were busily engaged in pitching and decorating t wo l arge tents at each firing point for the accommodation of the royal party. The grass under the tents was covered with scarlet cloth, and powerful teles. copes, manufactured by Messrs. Barrow, of Great Malvern, Mr Steward, of the Strand, and Mr Ross, of Featherstone-buildings, Holborn, were placed there for the use of the Prince and Princess, and the ladies and gentlemen in their suite. The following events were included in the pro gramme of the day :—Sighting for the second stage of the Queen's, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. The International Enfield Match between England and Scotland, 20 on each side, at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The Chancellor's Challenge Plate, value £lOO, to be shot for by volunteers of the Oxford and Cambridge University Corps, 7 shots each, at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The 4th series of extra prizes at 800 yards. The ties to be shot for the Ist and 2d stages of the Alexandra Prizes. The Ist stage of the Albert Prize, for prizes amounting to £7OO, open to all comers, 5 shots at 200, 500, and 600 yards. Earl de Grey and Ripon's Prizes, value £lOO, divided into 34 prizes, open to all comers, 5 shots at 600 yards. The " Any Rifle Association Cup," at 200 and 600 yards. The City of London Prizes for efficient volunteers, pool, sweepstakes, sighting targets, running deer, &c. The first business of the day was to shoot off the ties that were made for the St. George's Challenge Vase and the other prizes that were given in con nexion with it. They were disposed of as follows :- 200 300 Yards. Yards Total.
